Lovely place to stay parking is terrible. Just because you “book” parking when booking your stay doesn’t mean you will get on site parking.

The reception was good .. a shame the carparking wasn’t available and even if it was it’s a shame they charging $20 per night. Luckily the carpark nearby served its purpose. Also the breakfast could be better .. ended up just having toast and cereals.

Nice a new hotel with professional staff and high standards services and very clean at the moment. Little be problem with parking - to small for the size of hotel and you can’t reserve spot for you, so you never know if you will be happy and get spot, but if not there’s opposite big parking several level with very reasonable prices and collaboration with hotel.
